European Drug Monitoring Centre

01 January 1992

The EC Committee meeting in Brussels on 27 November 1991 proposed the foundation of a "European Drug Monitoring Centre" (EDMC). This Centre will collect, evaluate and distribute information related to the illicit use and trafficking of narcotics. EDMC activities will focus on the reduction of the demand for drugs, an inventory of measures that have been taken on national and EC levels, the advancement of international information and coordination, and the elaboration of programmes to stimulate drugs-producing countries to change to other profitable activities by means of economic assistance and cooperation programmes.

The EDMC will further collect information about the drugs trade in general, and a study is to be conducted on the shadow "economy" that has developed around narcotics. The proposal will be submitted to the council of ministers and the European Parliament. The location of the EDMC has not yet been decided.

Our work is only possible with your support.
